I was out the other week when i saw two Todd McFarlane HALO figures going seriously cheap. So I got them. Then told the Mrs. wanting to justify me 5 pound purchase I'm making my first vignette. If you're a Halo nerd i'm sure you'll fgure out where this is going. The Spartan figure will be heavily injured by the time it's done, splayed out on the ground firing his assault rifle with his one good arm. As shown below.





The base is that flower display stuff.

Hey KP,

Not a huge amount done. The top has been sprayed with textured stone spray. I'm hoping the glue in it will stiffenen the surface a bit. Then a liberal coating of PVA followed by a hefty sprinkling of fake grass.

Looks like he's going to be between a rock and a hard place?!

Yay. I've made a box to sit it in. Does it have a proper name? Paper templates to get the shapes and measurements right. Then superglue it. I'm dunderstruck. I got it right first time. Just need to sand and smooth.






With the base in the box it's gone from being incredibly  delicate the phenominally stronge.  Then onto the detailing. I've been playing about trying to fnd the right pose. I think i've got it now. I want it to look like he's dragging himself backwards up the hill. I've pushed his left heel into the surface as that's the leg doing all the work. His right will be injured along with left arm. I used airfix clear crimson. Looks awesome as fresh blood. More blood to be added for his leg wound.

Time is running out for our brave hero. For him to have got to this point he's taken a round to his left elbow, between armour plates, and his inside upper right thigh, nicking his femoral artery, hence all the claret. All of which slowed him up enough to give the Covenant time to hit him with something large in his chest. And now he's doomed to spend all eternity seconds from death.
